Nico di Angelo...( An Asa Butterfield's horror secrets)

Ambushed...

Everyone else was in the living room, eagerly waiting for those human resourse guys to tap the door and hand us our share of living! i mean the medications and a box of food and warm clothes...still no connection from my parents yet and as the days goes by...the shadows were emerging more often than i thought!

"See this...this means hole! so the whole phrase means the hole in hell", Asa was explaning intently as he pointed a finger at a long inked parchment in the tablet of doom as i call it! "In hell, there is a part of it where the place is freezing cold...the hole acts like a boundary between cold and hot".

"Hell is cold?" i asked.

"Some parts of it, yes".

He gave me a sort of amusing smile then...as if he was mocking me with his blue gaze. I turned away momentarily in embarresment...

One thing i never knew was how fluently well this british lad spoke latin. The words seemed starnge to pronounce it in my tongue...all gibberish and fast and alien! But for Asa...he spoke it as though he was brought up with the ancient language itself!

I was perplexed!

"What about the shadows?"

"What about them?" Asa replied, tensed suddenly! Probably not a good time to ask....crap!

"I can see them you know...sometimes they're behind me, whispering and whispering-"

"Ignore the lies they say...all those whispers!" Asa flipped open the next page harshly until the page tore a little. He cursed halfway-stopped- then sighed, despite the fact that i actually don't mind it at all.

"Sorry", he apologized, like a gentlemen he was.

I shrugged when the library door opened and in ran Hailee, who had been staying with us for a week now since her arrival! She panted, her cheeks were flushed and before she could say anything, Asa was up and about...

"What..?"

"Door...banging...", Hailee began stammering over her words. She was shaking! "Something...banging...hinges broke and...screaming..."

Something reflected in Asa's eyes then! Something deeper than horror or fear...it was far worst! His hands, face, everything had paled to a creamy colour. I got up beside him and before i could grab his hand to comfort him...Asa was already bustling out the door in a fast walk!

I turned to Hailee who seemed too traumatised to speak.

"WHat's going on?" I asked, my voice small.

"The room upstairs...banging...something's....behind the door...I...saw..."

I sprinted towards her, grabbing her shoulders, suddenly feeling as if something horrible was about to happen right then.

"What are you saying Hailee? What was it? WHat did you see?"

Her lips were trembling and the tears were were brimming in her eyes. she clutched my hands tight until my knuckles went white as snow.

"They...i saw..." She stuttered. "Black....tall...eyes red...Sonia..."

Hailee burst out crying!

"Sonia...they have her..." she whispered! "In the room upstairs...locked!"

Locked room upstairs? i thought, then gasped! Asa's room!

..........................................................

This was it! I should have told Ferry something...anything...about my feelings maybe since i was going to die!

The shadows! they were everywhere...along the walls, stairs....

Be brave...save your friend spirit walker! Stop hiding! Her voice came into my head and there was a jolt of pain, like a sting from a bee or something! a blow to the head....

Bipasha! i am so through with her and her god damn army of souls...this time, i'm giving her the suprise...

My mother, brother and sister were gaping from the foot of the second platform on the stairs, eyes wide and staring at my 'breathing door'...Anaya and Daniel were banging hard on the door, demanding for their daughter's release.

Sonia...i thought horrificly! oh no...

"SONIA!" Anaya yelled despairingly, scartching at the wood. "Hold on...we're going to break this! dont worry..."

"MOM!! I CANT BREATH!" Sonia screamed so loud i think she was going to faint! "HELP M-...no, no...please don't! AHHHHHHH!!

"Sonia!" Daniel yelled!

"NO.....GET AWAY FROM ME!! no..I...OH MY GOD!! AHHHHHHHH"

I sprinted up the stairs to my bedroom door! There was all kind of noises behind that door and it seemed that the wooden frame was alive...like it was...BREATHING! Poor Anaya was already sobbing helplessly as Sonia continued to scream from the inside!

i turned to Daniel!

"THis door was supposed to be locked!" i yelled furiously. He looked taken aback at my sudden outburst although i quickly regretted it. "How...What happened?"

Daniel shook his head, panting for breath! He looked grief stricken! I mummered an apology, tapping his shoulder and went to my door. I tried the handle but it was now locked from the inside.....

Shit

Placing both hands on the door, i pressed my ears to hear better what was happening in my room. there was Sonia's pleading voice, asking someone to stop! She wasn't alone!!

Then i heard a stange muffled sound, like how someone would speak softly to tell someone a secret. Sonia was pleading again and i heard her suddenly ask "What are you?"

No! No! Don't listen to that peice of trash! Don't

But i know my thoughts are only within my mind! Sonia cannot hear me...

There was a muffle laugh and i knew it was a women's voice! Sonia had began to cry and wail...

"There's someone in there!" Anaya said, wiping her tears. "Oh Asa...I think its a burglar! I'm calling the-"

"The police will not be of any help", I said sternly. "This is...different!"

"What are you talking about!" Anaya hollered impatiently! "Sonia's being abused in there and you're asking me to just sit around and-"

Something moved!

Anaya stopped her speech mid sentence, looking baffled! something moved again, a vibration beneath our feet! And then...the house rocked to the side and we stumbled on each other....

i fell backwards, hitting my head hard. Inside the room, all was suddenly quiet!

THe house rocked again so i couldnt get up. Everybody graoned and i fell on my side...this was all happening in phase 1 of my plan......

things were going to get bad!!
